Work Experience

Software Development Engineer

2021 - 2023
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Developed new features for a new AI-based AWS service yet to be launched.
  • Contributed to the conversion of an in-memory database to a custom MVCC database for AWS Honeycode.
  • Led the design and implementation of an optimization to real-time updates to views of a graph-based database, leading to 40x fewer queries.
Technologies: Java, TypeScript, Ruby, Python, Amazon DynamoDB, AWS IAM, Distributed Software, Artificial Intelligence (AI), GraphQL

Full-stack Developer

2020 - 2021
PayerSciences LLC
  • Handled the development of the account management planner (AMP).
  • Implemented end-to-end features, including the infrastructure, back end, front end, and automated tests.
  • Improved productivity by simplifying the React code.
Technologies: Node.js, JavaScript, React, Amazon Web Services (AWS), GraphQL, Docker Compose, Docker, Azure DevOps, Continuous Delivery (CD), Continuous Integration (CI), Kubernetes, Azure, Git, Microservices, Agile Software Development, API Architecture, Web Architecture, CSS, Progressive Web Applications (PWA), PostgreSQL

Software Developer

2017 - 2020
Performitiv, LLC
  • Implemented global search using Elasticsearch, improving user experience.
  • Promoted software development best practices and the adoption of ES6 features.
  • Optimized MongoDB queries—one of the best results was that the generation time of a report dropped from 25 seconds to 5 seconds.
  • Rewrote parts of the system from AngularJS to Vue/Vuex.
Technologies: Docker, Elasticsearch, ECMAScript (ES6), JavaScript, MongoDB, Node.js, Vuex, Vue

Software Developer

2017 - 2017
Delmic (via Toptal)
  • Implemented the reading of tiled images and sub-images from TIFF files on PyLibtiff.
  • Implemented on-demand loading of large TIFF files on Odemis, a software for visualizing microscope images.
  • Implemented a plugin for Odemis to align microscope images from different sources using OpenCV matching algorithms.
  • Implemented automated tests for all developed features.
Technologies: Linux, OpenCV, C, NumPy, Python

Software Developer

2009 - 2016
Tecgraf
  • Led the architecture design of a finite element method physics simulator.
  • Contributed to a 3D seismic visualizer using OpenGL and C++.
  • Led the group that implemented automatic testing, tool selection, and process determination.
  • Developed on-demand loading of large seismic files. The startup of the software after loading a large file changed from several minutes to seconds.
  • Led the adoption of an object-oriented approach for the development of common GUI elements in the system.
  • Developed an algorithm for riser interference detection with complexity of O(n log n + m log m). The previous algorithm had O(n2 + m2) complexity.
  • Analyzed a poorly documented and engineered 25-year-old FORTRAN code and converted it to a well-structured, object-oriented C++ code.
Technologies: Linux, CMake, Git, Boost, Eclipse, Visual Studio, Qt, OpenGL, C++

Founder and Software Developer

2007 - 2008
Quasar Group
  • Created and developed the Cableway software. It reads CAD files, processes them, and shows several reports.
  • Implemented an OpenGL 2D viewer for CAD files.
  • Designed the cable route code based on the Djikstra algorithm for the Cableway software.
  • Developed the integration with a CAD reading library.
  • Managed the development of an ERP based on Ruby on Rails and Adobe Flex.
Technologies: MySQL, Adobe Flex, Ruby on Rails (RoR), Ruby, OpenGL, C++

Co-founder and R&D Manager

2006 - 2006
Kognitus
  • Improved the computer vision algorithms of the Kapta software for automatic license plate recognition.
  • Managed a team of developers for the implementation of computer vision algorithms and a desktop application that used the algorithms.
  • Worked on multithreaded code that managed the different phases of the computer vision processes.
  • Worked on the object-oriented redesign of the Kapta software.
  • Worked on fundraising activities to support the growth of the company.
Technologies: Machine Learning, Computer Vision, C++

Software Developer
